Thank you for the helpful video. I really like LG Balance-n-Brighten foundation, but felt exactly the same, that the color pulled very warm on my light neutral skin. I purchased Fair last time & was considering this time buying Porcelain & Fair to get a better match. My other idea was to add one of her new primer spackle in champagne or rose gold & bronzer to see if that might be the perfect look. The online colors make it really tough to choose. Maybe an idea for future video or other brands? Thank you so much ! 😊
I am so glad to hear that Phyllis! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me! 🥰 I use her blush and highlighter regularly! They are truly so beautiful! ❤️ Have a great day!
I have 52 yo combo/oily skin with fine lines and pores. Powder foundations and sheen tend to exaggerate any texture - my smile "crinkles" and pores. Thank you for the demo and review
I'm so glad to hear that Barb! ❤️ Do you have any advice on any of her other products I might enjoy? Her blush was so great, that I'm kind of curious about her other makeup! 🤗 Have a great day! 🌺
I remember receiving a similar kit of Laura Geller products for Christmas in the late 90's. I loved the brush and used it for many years, no shedding with my brush. I did hear that the brand was forced to file for bankruptcy, so as I am thrilled to see her products still for sale, I would guess that they had to make cuts.... maybe in making their brushes? Of course you looked just stunning with these products on!! (As always, you know how to make products work for you!) I am about a pale as a person can be, basically translucent, and after trying powder foundations from Fenty, Bare Minerals and Elf, I have come to realize if I am able to find my almost white shade (like white stage makeup😥)...... I literally look like a ghost with it applied! I have to use a lot of bronzer, blush and setting spray to bring my face back to life. So maybe using self tanner and staying with your current shade may be the best look? But like you said, there are many other Laura Geller products that are so lovely!! I've been very curious to try the spackle product for the pores on my nose! And I am interested in the new liquid foundation!! PS My favorite powder foundation is the one from Elf, and I like to use it on my nose pores after foundation. It blurs them so well!
As usual, you are a wealth of information sweet Patti! 🥰 You are so right about the pale powder “debacle” and having to add all the color back into the face after using a shade that matches! so maybe I will just stick with this shade and use it in my self-tanned days! I had no idea about the bankruptcy… I’m glad to see she was able to restructure and keep going! And that makes me feel even better about the fact that she had such a strong advertising campaign going on right now. Good for her! 💪🏻 I hope you’re having a great week, and as always, thanks so much for sharing your experiences, and knowledge with me! ❤️❤️❤️
I used Laura Geller products a long time ago and was happy to hear they were back on the market. So I ordered the light and the fair foundation and both were too dark, just like in your review. I have been using the Pur 4 in 1 Foundation in light and I’m very happy with the shade. I did get the same Laura Geller blush and I’m also very pleased with it. Thanks for your review. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this with me! ❤️ I really appreciate getting comments like this, because it can help me confirm what other people experience too, as they try different products, so that I'm able to best help people when they ask for my advice. So I appreciate you letting me know how the LG powder (and blush) worked (and didn't work) for you! ❤️ Also, Thanks so much for the information about the Pur foundation! I've passed by it so many times, love their undertones, and have ONLY ever heard good things about it, so I don't know why its taken me so darn long to try it out! 😂 I need to get on that! ❤️ I hope you have a beautiful day! 🌷
I agree, this foundation was too warm for me, but great coverage. I did seem to break out with it which was so unfortunate! I would love to see the liquid review
Oh I'm so sorry the shade pulled too warm for you too. 😔 Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts about it though! 🤗❤️ Have a wonderful weekend Jennifer! 🌺
This Laura Geller powder foundation looks flawless on you! But I can see it took awhile to get there and the shades def run warm or dark. I would say even on my very fair skin the porcelain shade wouldn’t work for me. The star of the show is definitely the blush! That is soooo pretty! I would buy that on its own. The highlighter was ok but I expected more for the price point. And they cheaped out on the brush. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend and give Norm a treat for me ❤ him at the end with the shower cap was hilarious 😂 sending prayers and positive vibes your way ❤️🙏 hugs!
Hi lady! 🤗 🌺 Yes, the blush was definitely the big winner! 😍 I'm hoping to try more of her blush shades! I was definitely frustrated by how deep the "light" shade of the foundation was though, and someone commented below, that the porcelain shade turns pinky... so I think I'm going to throw in the towel for now on trying any more of the LG Baked powder foundations... but maybe give the liquid one a shot? Thanks so much for your sweet comment! ❤️ Normie sends you lots of puggy snuggles and hopes you are staying warm!! As am I dear friend!! ❤️
Thank you for a thorough and informative review! I've used the balance 'n brighten in "Light" *very* lightly dusted on as a finishing/setting powder, but not as a foundation. And you nailed it on the blush, her baked blushes are phenomenal! The powder foundation looked lovely on you, even if the shade was a bit off. I need to think about a review suggestion, but will come back with a couple or three. ;) Please convey my warmest snuggles to Handsome Norm for even trying on the dreaded shower-cap; I hope he was able to subdue it before it could attach itself to him. 😂
That’s exactly how I use this, too! I like to “set” my sunscreen so it’s not so shiny and to keep it from running into my eyes, and it works well for me. I don’t wear foundation too often, but when I do, the Laura Geller works great as you said, in a light layer to set.
@@nicholesmith4699 Somehow I feel validated! Great minds thinking alike, Nichole, I'm so glad you shared this. Others may find it a useful tip, too, as it serves this purpose so nicely.
@Nichole Smith and Brynda! Great tips ladies! 🤗 Thanks so much for sharing your advice with me. I'll definitely have to try it as a finishing powder! ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you're both having a great start to your week! 🦋
I just received these products Used them years ago. I am happy got tan it was perfect I'm enjoying using her products again I'm 69 and its great on my older skin
I have to say on the thumbnail your skin looks gorgeous! I’ve order the LG foundation powder in the past but the whole thing came shattered in a million pieces. I sent it back but never re-ordered… hmmm might need do that 😂 seriously though the LG products look phenomenal on you.❤
Thank you so much! That is so sweet of you! I'm so disappointed that yours came shattered! 😩 how frustrating! I hope that you'll get the chance to try it again! ❤️❤️❤️
Jenny, I know this is a question you asked a few months ago, but if it still goes: I would be very interested in the newest Laura Mercier foundation. This set looks nice, especially the gorgeous blush. But no powder foundation for me! Everybody says it's so easy to apply, and I am just so bad at it. It takes me way longer than a liquid foundation to get it right. Thanks for the review!
I’ve seen everyone love this, but I think the beautiful finish is definitely the highlighter. I’ll stick to the powders/ foundations I already own. 🤔 I do wanna try the Flower Light Illusion powder. I bet it’s too dark though.
I'm definitely going to have to check that one out! 😍 I LOVED the last Flower Beauty foundations I tried (except for the lack of pale shade options for us fair skinned foundation-wearers of course! 😩) #thestruggleisreal 😂 Hope your week is going great! ❤️
Hi Nichole! 🤗 I got it from Amazon! The brand is OULII snd they had a variety of styles and designs to choose from (for under $8.00!) I got the cat, because when my hubby and I got married he brought the sweetest little black cat named, "Gypsy" into our family, and it reminds me of her. ❤️ Hope you're having a great week, and if you have any trouble finding it on Amazon, just let me know!
Norm and his shower cap! 😂😂😂😂 Laura Geller is an excellent saleswoman. However, I've had to return more products of hers than any other brand. When the Balance and Brighten first came out, it was only one shade, but LG on QVC insisted it would adjust to any skin tone. I ran out and bought it at Ulta, which carried it at the time. Way too orange, but I liked the finish. Back it went. When she added the other shades, I bought Porcelain, but it offered so little coverage, I only use it as a light finishing powder, but it does skew pink. Her other Double Take Baked powder foundation has better coverage and shade selections, but it's drying. I can't use it anymore, unfortunately. The DTB foundations are not orangey like the BandB ones and the Fair shade was a good match for me. I wonder what the liquid version will be. I bought a couple of other LG liquid foundations and they looked awful on me. Back they went, so I gave up on her makeup altogether. The blushes look gorgeous. I should have spent my money on those instead.
Thanks so much for your valuable insight!! I’m amazed that the first one was presented as adjusting to any skin tone! 😳 I know that companies want to offer the convenience of “shade adjusting” formulas, but there’s nothing convenient about it when it doesn’t work and the customer has to return it. (But that’s just my humble opinion…) I appreciate all that you shared with me about the different LG options and how they worked for you!! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you’re having a lovely week my friend! 😘
@@foundationlady Oh, you're welcome, Jenny! I was kind of worried I might be perceived as LG-bashing, but I had to be honest after trying her products. I do think her blushes would be great. I don't think anyone could go wrong with those. Speaking of blushes, I just ordered several Salt NY ones, plus a couple of Sneaky Balm shades. If you buy 3 tints, you get 3 free! At first, I was going to get another palette, but this came out a few dollars cheaper with more products! I do intend to eventually get another palette or get an empty one from Camera Ready Cosmetics.
Porcelain is pink and bright and fair is orange and too deep. Light has a good tone, but it’s still too dark. It has a beautiful finish, so I’m really sad that I can’t get it to work for me. 🤷🏼♀️
I had the same problem with it. Her Double Take Baked powder foundation has better choices for those of us who couldn't get a match with the Balance and Brighten. The Fair is light enough and neutral enough for me. Unfortunately, it's drying and I can't use it anymore.
@@kellwillis78 You're supposed to be able to use the Double Take wet as well. That method didn't work for me. Maybe the liquid version is better for dry skin.
Hi Adriana! 🙂 Thanks so much for your comment! I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. 💕 I'm wondering if you've gotten your foundations in the mail yet? I haven't had a chance to try the balance and glow version yet, but would LOVE to hear what you think when you have a chance to try them (good or bad!) I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🤗
I haven’t done it myself, but I’ve heard that they have an excellent exchange policy! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m sure they will let you return it so you can find the one that’s right for you. 😊🙏🏻 I hope this helps! ❤️
Thank you so much for letting me know! ❤️❤️❤️ I feel much better knowing that, and really appreciate you letting me know! 🤗 I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! ❤️
btw. Ulta is having a 50% sale. Some of it is foundation stuff. Anything that pops out at you to give it a try? It's got Tarte Face Tape Full coverage. Estee Lauder Double wear stay in place foundation, IT cosmetic cc + cream illumination plus spf 50+, Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation, PUR 4-in 1 pressed mineral powder foundation SPF 15, Dermablend Flawless creator liquid foundation drops .. huh? what am I supposed to do with that? last one I'm not sure if it's a foundation but it's something from ARMANI so I'm hoping for the foundation. Should I try the Iconic London sculpting palette? I buried this under a reply cuz i'm not shilling for the store lol
Haha! I like your style! 😂 I saw the 21 days of beauty, and I was thisclose to jumping on the Shape Tape Foundation, but then for some reason I just didn't bite. (I think maybe I looked at the shades and just wasn't sure there was a good option?) I'd love to try the PUR mineral powder, as I've heard really great things about that, and all of the other ones, besides the Armani, I've either tried out or have on my desk getting ready to try... Although I'm considering trying the New (to ULTA) Dior foundation. I think it's been out for a little while at other retailers, but I was intrigued that it's supposed to be a more "natural" finish. Thank you SO much for compiling that list in your comment above! Seriously, it's been such a busy week, and I've been glancing every once in a while at the ads, but haven't had the chance to really sit down and see what they were offering for the whole 21 days, so that was so helpful!! 🤗 I haven't tried any Iconic London yet... I need to check it out!! ❤️❤️❤️ Have a beautiful day!! 🌺
This Laura Geller is one of those foundations that worked well on me for a while then didn't, just like the bare minerals. I'm one of those who will know something doesn't work, get rid of it, give it another chance , get rid of it again, and possibly again 🤦♀️don't make me get the Laura Geller again! Although maybe this time I'll just ask the girlfriend I gave it to to let me try it again , get it out of my system 😂. I do still have the blush though mine is more of a berry.
I laughed when I read your comment, because I SO RELATE! 😂 How many times have I given (or thrown) something away, only to repurchase it thinking... "this time I can make it work...." Oh, and for the record, I had the same thought about an ex boyfriend once..... It didn't work! 😂❤️ PS I LOVE her Blush and highlighter! ❤️
I tried the baked and balance foundarion powder and I do not like it at all. It settled into my pores terribly. I don't like the matte look that it gives as I prefer the glow. The blush is indeed beautiful. I actually own a few Laura Geller blushes and they are all very beautiful and have that subtle glow that I'm looking for.
Hi Beachfrost33! 🤗 Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me! I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one that noticed the more matte finish to the powder. Have you tried any other mineral foundations that offer more glow, or are you more a fan of liquid foundation? Again, thank you so much for being candid, it's so helpful for people (including me!) to be able to see what people like/don't like about the foundations I review. ❤️ Have a wonderful week! 🌺
@Foundation Lady , no problem!😊 I have tried a few other mineral foundations. My favorite mineral foundation used to be Bare Minerals. I wore it religiously for a decade but then noticed as I'm aging that the mineral powder foundations do not give me the coverage that I'm looking for. I have enlarged pores that most powder foundations just cannot cover. I feel like they just accentuate my pores instead of blurring them like more liquid foundations do. I have also tried so many pore blurring primers as well to no avail. They will fill in for a short time and then be visible again. I'm still looking for a holy grail pore filler😊 Love your foundation reviews. I'm new to your channel but love the honest reviews and the variety. Really gives us viewers a good idea of the performance of the products so we can make a more informed decision as to whether or not we want to take a chance on them and spend the money. Laura Geller lipsticks and her blushes are absolutely beautiful but for me, her foundations are a big fail, even her filter first liquid foundation. You have a great weekend too!!🌺🌼
@@beachfrost3367 Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a sweet reply! 🤗 That was so kind of you! ❤ And I really appreciate the tips! esp. about the LG blush and lipsticks! I'm going to have to try those out! ❤
All Laura Gellar products run warm and darker than advertised. Even if the products look dead pink, invariably they will pull orange. I have no complaints about the quality of her products, but if you have fair cool skin like me, literally none of her products will work for you -- and I've tried both her liquid and powder foundations, blushes, and eyeshadows. It's a real shame.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Danielle! ❤️ I always appreciate getting feedback from viewers! (It helps me so much when I'm making recommendations for others.) I've unfortunately had the same experience with her foundation oxidizing too warm on me. This powder foundation actually made my, "Five Foundations I Won't be Wearing in 2024," video for that very reason. Fortunately, I really enjoyed her blush and highlighter, and still use them, but I just cannot make the foundation work! ❤️ Thanks again! I hope you have a beautiful week! 🤗
@@coopie624I really love this foundation, but to get the right winter shade I have to mix porcelain with fair or light (I forget which one use). The pink in the porcelain makes it a little lighter and cooler.The shade range is my only complaint about her products. Medium works well with a self tanner in summer. Her blush and highlighter can’t be beat though.
Yes, double take liquid foundation review please!
Thank you so much for the feedback! 🤗 ❤️
I tried to help you with the shedding brush, as I blew on my phone when I saw it on your cheek.🤣🤣
At first I thought it was one Norm's hairs!

I love them. But they’re meant to be buffed into the skin instead of stamped. They blend better and don’t look so orange or pink when doing that.
Oh God just ordered medium. Ut Oh. I don't have warm skin. I hope I could send it back. I never got it yet.
I haven’t done it myself, but I’ve heard that they have an excellent exchange policy! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m sure they will let you return it so you can find the one that’s right for you. 😊🙏🏻 I hope this helps! ❤️
I think you got a defective brush because I bought her kit and both my brushes work beautifully and have never shed not even once.
Thank you so much for letting me know! ❤️❤️❤️ I feel much better knowing that, and really appreciate you letting me know! 🤗 I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! ❤️
I agree. Having no problem with the brush, but this is a year later. Maybe there have been improvements.
I tried LG's powder foundation. It felt drying. I thought that self adjusting thing would make it perfect match. I was disappointed.
btw. Ulta is having a 50% sale. Some of it is foundation stuff. Anything that pops out at you to give it a try?
It's got Tarte Face Tape Full coverage. Estee Lauder Double wear stay in place foundation, IT cosmetic cc + cream illumination plus spf 50+, Mac Studio Fix Powder Foundation, PUR 4-in 1 pressed mineral powder foundation SPF 15, Dermablend Flawless creator liquid foundation drops .. huh? what am I supposed to do with that? last one I'm not sure if it's a foundation but it's something from ARMANI so I'm hoping for the foundation. Should I try the Iconic London sculpting palette? I buried this under a reply cuz i'm not shilling for the store lol
Haha! I like your style! 😂 I saw the 21 days of beauty, and I was thisclose to jumping on the Shape Tape Foundation, but then for some reason I just didn't bite. (I think maybe I looked at the shades and just wasn't sure there was a good option?) I'd love to try the PUR mineral powder, as I've heard really great things about that, and all of the other ones, besides the Armani, I've either tried out or have on my desk getting ready to try... Although I'm considering trying the New (to ULTA) Dior foundation. I think it's been out for a little while at other retailers, but I was intrigued that it's supposed to be a more "natural" finish. Thank you SO much for compiling that list in your comment above! Seriously, it's been such a busy week, and I've been glancing every once in a while at the ads, but haven't had the chance to really sit down and see what they were offering for the whole 21 days, so that was so helpful!! 🤗 I haven't tried any Iconic London yet... I need to check it out!! ❤️❤️❤️ Have a beautiful day!! 🌺
This Laura Geller is one of those foundations that worked well on me for a while then didn't, just like the bare minerals. I'm one of those who will know something doesn't work, get rid of it, give it another chance , get rid of it again, and possibly again 🤦♀️don't make me get the Laura Geller again! Although maybe this time I'll just ask the girlfriend I gave it to to let me try it again , get it out of my system 😂. I do still have the blush though mine is more of a berry.
I laughed when I read your comment, because I SO RELATE! 😂 How many times have I given (or thrown) something away, only to repurchase it thinking... "this time I can make it work...." Oh, and for the record, I had the same thought about an ex boyfriend once..... It didn't work! 😂❤️
PS I LOVE her Blush and highlighter! ❤️
I tried the baked and balance foundarion powder and I do not like it at all. It settled into my pores terribly. I don't like the matte look that it gives as I prefer the glow. The blush is indeed beautiful. I actually own a few Laura Geller blushes and they are all very beautiful and have that subtle glow that I'm looking for.
Hi Beachfrost33! 🤗 Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me! I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one that noticed the more matte finish to the powder. Have you tried any other mineral foundations that offer more glow, or are you more a fan of liquid foundation? Again, thank you so much for being candid, it's so helpful for people (including me!) to be able to see what people like/don't like about the foundations I review. ❤️ Have a wonderful week! 🌺
@Foundation Lady , no problem!😊 I have tried a few other mineral foundations. My favorite mineral foundation used to be Bare Minerals. I wore it religiously for a decade but then noticed as I'm aging that the mineral powder foundations do not give me the coverage that I'm looking for. I have enlarged pores that most powder foundations just cannot cover. I feel like they just accentuate my pores instead of blurring them like more liquid foundations do. I have also tried so many pore blurring primers as well to no avail. They will fill in for a short time and then be visible again. I'm still looking for a holy grail pore filler😊 Love your foundation reviews. I'm new to your channel but love the honest reviews and the variety. Really gives us viewers a good idea of the performance of the products so we can make a more informed decision as to whether or not we want to take a chance on them and spend the money. Laura Geller lipsticks and her blushes are absolutely beautiful but for me, her foundations are a big fail, even her filter first liquid foundation. You have a great weekend too!!🌺🌼
@@beachfrost3367 Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a sweet reply! 🤗 That was so kind of you! ❤ And I really appreciate the tips! esp. about the LG blush and lipsticks! I'm going to have to try those out! ❤
All Laura Gellar products run warm and darker than advertised. Even if the products look dead pink, invariably they will pull orange. I have no complaints about the quality of her products, but if you have fair cool skin like me, literally none of her products will work for you -- and I've tried both her liquid and powder foundations, blushes, and eyeshadows. It's a real shame.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Danielle! ❤️ I always appreciate getting feedback from viewers! (It helps me so much when I'm making recommendations for others.) I've unfortunately had the same experience with her foundation oxidizing too warm on me. This powder foundation actually made my, "Five Foundations I Won't be Wearing in 2024," video for that very reason. Fortunately, I really enjoyed her blush and highlighter, and still use them, but I just cannot make the foundation work! ❤️ Thanks again! I hope you have a beautiful week! 🤗
I’m so glad I seen this comment. I’m a cool pinky gal and this would oxidize so fast. I was thinking about buying but I don’t think I will be now
Yes! the same happened to me: quality wise: no complaints but color undertones do need improvement the shade light isn’t light its warm/peachy/orange
Awwww, that makes me sad. I really want to try LG makeup but orange makes me look jaundiced. I a definitely a cool tone girl. Thanks!
@@coopie624I really love this foundation, but to get the right winter shade I have to mix porcelain with fair or light (I forget which one use). The pink in the porcelain makes it a little lighter and cooler.The shade range is my only complaint about her products. Medium works well with a self tanner in summer. Her blush and highlighter can’t be beat though.
You can exchange any of the foundation for free
Thanks so much for the info Jennifer! 🤗 That's great to know! ❤️
Thank you for this comment! I just exchanged Light for Porcelain hoping it's less orange on me.
